Uttarakhand: Big action taken against District Excise Officer for over-rating liquor sale in Dehradun, removed from post

Illegal liquor sale in the district has become a burden for the District Excise Officer. In fact, in the capital, over-rating and illegal liquor sale in pubs and bars are in discussions. The situation is such that instead of the Excise Department, the District Magistrate of Dehradun has had to come forward to stop such activities. Regarding these cases of illegal liquor sale, orders have now been issued to remove District Excise Officer Kailash Chandra Binjola.

Dehradun District Magistrate Savin Bansal has been continuously taking charge against illegal liquor sale for the last several weeks. It is obvious that the Excise Department was not able to take satisfactory action in this matter. That is why the District Magistrate himself had to conduct surprise inspections. The big thing is that it was also affecting the image of the government. Perhaps this is the reason that orders have been issued to remove District Excise Officer Kailash Chandra Binjola amid all the complaints.

Additional responsibility to Deputy Excise Commissioner

Excise Commissioner Harishchandra Semwal has issued orders in this regard and has attached Kailash Chandra Binjola to the Excise Commissioner’s office till further orders. At present, Prabhashankar Mishra has been given additional responsibility as District Excise Officer. Prabha Shankar Mishra is looking after the work in the Excise Headquarters as Deputy Excise Commissioner. In such a situation, now he has been given the responsibility of the post of District Excise Officer till new orders are issued.

DM did many inspections

The special thing is that in Dehradun district, complaints were being received about the negligence of the Excise Department on illegal liquor sale and that is why Dehradun District Magistrate Savin Bansal was also angry with the District Excise Officer. The special thing is that in the district, the District Magistrate himself had to take charge of the illegal activities and the District Magistrate was also constantly taking action by conducting surprise inspections in all the liquor shops, pubs and bars.

The matter had reached the CM office

It is being told that even after many complaints, the officers of the Excise Department at the district level were not doing routine checking and in such a situation, open activities of over-rating were being conducted at the liquor shops. Which were caught by the District Magistrate himself during inspection at many places. The image of the government was also getting tarnished due to illegal activities in the liquor shop and this matter had also reached the Chief Minister’s office. Amidst all these circumstances, due to many complaints, it is being said that action will be taken to remove the District Excise Officer at the level of the Excise Commissioner.
